Anyone feeling creative?

One of the things that nark me about facebook (well, if I'm honest, it's the people I'm friends with ) is the chain-letter-esque "I've got a mum, who's wonderful, makes me laugh, makes me cry, etc etc, copy and paste this to your status if you've got a mum you love"

So I think we can collectively do better. We need a subject and a homily.

Suggestions?

What I never get about those things is what they're supposed to achieve. "Put this as your status if you've lost someone you love to cancer." Why exactly? It's not going to a) bring them back or b) fund a cure. "Put this as your status and donate £10 to cancer research" I'd get!

"Many people suffer from the embarassment of nocturnal enuresis. Sufferers need love, understanding and support. Copy and paste this to your status if someone you know is a bedwetter."

I thought only secretaries got such dross on FB.

There's a thread on this subject at the Mailwatch forums, where Big Vern offers:

Copy & paste this to your status if you know someone, or have heard of someone who knows someone. If you don't know anyone, or even if you've heard of someone who doesn't know anyone, then still do this. It's important to spread the message. Oh, and the hearts ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ For ****'s sake, don't forget the ******* hearts! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

And SewerUrchin confesses:

I didn't copy and paste the status. Know what that means? I actively support cancer. I spit on chemo patients and cackle with glee whenever the Mail announces that an everyday thing gives you cancer. I even have a little cheerleader outfit with pompoms in the shape of tumours. I dig cancer, can't you tell? It should be obvious from the lack of someone else's half-arsed sentiments on my facebook.

It's sometimes surprising who does post this stuff.
